The project aims to build the capacity of 90 vulnerable women and farmers (60% females and 40% males) in sustainable agricultural practices to enhance their resilience to climate change and improve their livelihoods. The training will focus on key topics such as zero-tillage farming, land fallowing, efficient water irrigation systems, water harvesting techniques, use of organic fertilizers, and the risks of overgrazing and overwatering. Participants will be selected based on socio-economic vulnerability, engagement in agriculture, vulnerability to climate change, and willingness to adopt new practices.
The training will be conducted over 18 days in selected villages, with different 6 locations (3 days training per location). The trainer will play a critical role in delivering high-quality, practical, and engaging training sessions to ensure participants gain the knowledge and skills needed to implement sustainable agricultural practices.
